The unstable spectrum of swirling gas flows

Influence of Thermal Radiation Models on Prediction of Reactive Swirling Methane/Air Flame in a Model Gas Turbine Combustor

 A numerical simulation of reactive swirling methane/air non-premixed flame in a new three-dimensional model combustion chamber is carried out to assess the performance of two thermal radiation models, namely, the Discrete Transfer Radiation Model and the P-1 Model. A Finite Volume staggered grid approach is employed to solve the governing equations.The second-order upwind scheme is applied for...

Large-eddy simulation of swirling particle-laden flows in a coaxial-jet combustor

Large-eddy simulation (LES) of particle-laden, swirling flow in a coaxial-jet combustor is performed. A mixture of air and lightly loaded, spherical, glass-particles with a prescribed size-distribution enters the primary jet, while a swirling stream of air flows through the annulus. The incompressible, spatially filtered Navier–Stokes equations are solved on unstructured grids to compute the tu...

Numerical Simulation of a Confined Swirling Flow in a Model Gas Turbine Combustor

Visualization of Swirling Gas-solid Flow Pattern in a Horizontal Pipe Based on Wavelet Analysis of Pressure Signals

The wavelet transform is applied to experimental pressure fluctuations in swirling gas-particle two-phase flows in this paper, to identify and interpret flow pattern transitions in both Fourier and physical spaces. From randomlike pressure fluctuations the characteristic of swirling gas-particle twophase flows can be extracted, and the relationship between the wall pressure fluctuation and the ...

A Numerical Simulation of Swirling Gas-solid Flow in a Vertical Pipeline

A numerical prediction for axial and swirling gas-solid flows in a vertical pipe was carried out with an Eulerian approach for the gas and a stochastic Lagrangian approach for particles, where particle-particle and particle-wall collisions were taken into consideration. The kε turbulence model was used to characterize the time and length scales of the gas-phase turbulence. Models predicting the...
